Abstract

An electron optical system array has a plurality of electron lenses, the system array having at least two electrodes structures which respectively have membranes and are arranged along an optical axis, each of the membranes having a plurality of apertures through which charged-particle beams pass. There is also a spacer which is interposed between the facing membranes and adjacent to the aperture and which determines a gap between the facing membranes.
